The regional population is estimated at around 2.7 million. We&#8217;re grateful to have roots here and to join a beautiful community of peace builders. We pay homage to the myriad of voices we join. We confess the conflicting identities that we represent as well as the beauty and pain of our shared histories. We honor the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Mescalero Apache, two Indigenous tribes with roots in the area. We honor the magnificent heritage and heartbeat of our Mexican and Mexican-American neighbors, Chicana\/o andLatina\/o communities, African Diaspora, fellow El Pasoans-the blend of many families and cultural memories, and all who first inhabited the land where we&#8217;re invited to reside. We honor the wisdom of Abuelita theologians, artists, elders, Dreamers, faith leaders, and local residents in the Rio Grande District (where our offices are and where many of us live), as well as our sister-city neighbors across the border.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/es\/borderlands\/#fast-facts\" target=\"_self\"> DATOS R\u00c1PIDOS <\/a> <a href=\"\/es\/borderlands\/#failing-solutions\" target=\"_self\"> SOLUCIONES FALLIDAS <\/a> <a href=\"\/es\/borderlands\/#immigration-faq\" target=\"_self\"> IMMIGRATION FAQ&#8217;S <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h3>1 DE CADA 78 HABITANTES DEL PLANETA ES DESPLAZADO FORZOSO<\/h3>\r\n<p>We are one community in two nations. What is happening on the border is symptomatic to what is happening around the world. Like any place, there is so much beauty and pain here. There are many tales and migrant narratives of identity from the Chihuahuan Desert. For centuries, sojourners and desert dwellers set roots here &#8211; even for a time. Our hope is to extend a hand along people&#8217;s journey in search for refuge, safety, and life. Currently, on the US-Mexico Border, thousands of families have limited options and are fleeing from The Northern Triangle of Central America (Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) while many other neighbors arrive from all over the global map.<\/p>\r\n<p>El mundo se polariza.
